outgoing mail server address for iPhone please

[#2]

If you only need to send from an EDGE connection, use cwmx.com with no authentication. This won't work if you are connected to Wi-Fi.

If, OTOH, you need to send from Wi-Fi, you'll need to find out your e-mail provider's SMTP server settings.

i notice that my pc setup my mail for my iphone cox.net but i cant send or recieve email whats wrong

[#4]

It's pretty common for ISPs to not allow you to use their SMTP servers unless you are connected directly to their network. In the case of your iPhone, this would mean your home Wi-Fi would be the only place it would work. CWMX is AT&T's SMTP relay server, but it only works if connected to AT&T's network (EDGE).

Some users here and elsewhere (do a Google search or search this forum) have had luck getting a free Gmail account and using their SMTP server for mail relay.

COMPLAIN TO COX! The only way they'll ever stop this practice is to hear their customers fussing about it.

so i have ot use EDGE email what is that?

[#6]

EDGE is AT&T's data service (Internet access) that works on your iPhone. If you use cwmx.com as your smtp server, you'll only be able to send mail when on EDGE (that is to say, it won't work on Wi-Fi).

OK, If I have SMPT.SBCGLOBAL.NET as the outgoing mail server, and it works great on 'most' wireless networks (that don't have passwords), is there a universal outgoing mail service that will work? or do I have to use the EDGE network? Is there a newer outgoing mail server that is ATT?

I want to use my wifi and connect to cox at home but edge when away can that be done?  I also set up a gmail account but it is stll not right.  My I phone wont keep the outgoing mail info.  Has anyone had any luck with this cox issue?
